water

i make the water properly in hammer but when i run the map its invisible. its there its just invisble. ive checked for leaks and tryed different water textures. anyone know anything??
Heres my compile log:

Entity light_environment (-98.33 127.76 351.00) leaked!

Didn't check quite well enough I guess :wink:

There are 2 clues you need to focus on.

and

No vis information, direct lighting only.

either of these two in a compile log means you have a leak.

they both will be in the log, but when reading it, you only need to see one of them to know.

go fix your leak.

The best things in life, aren't things.

The water may not touch the skybox.

Well the fact it says "no vis information, direct lighting only" in RAD
actually only means that VIS didn't run (or didn't finish successfully)

• there are potentially other reasons than a leak. Of course the most

likely reason is that there is a leak, so thats what you have to check
for in the BSP log.

first fix that leak, then run vis in the compile process. Water appears
invisable if there is no vis information, or if you run it on fast vis.

i moved the light_environment and it still leaked so i got rid of it. then it says one of my info_nodes is leaking so i got rid of them. then it says weapon_crowbar is leaking so i got rid of all entities except for the info_player start and it says that leaks as well. it tried a new map, just a simple room with water, and the same thing happened as well. the compile log isnt running VIS either, it says it cant read my maps .prt.

No you need to fix the leak, the hole in the map, you cant move entites
around, or delete them to fix a leak, you need to seal your map with
solid geometry (brushes). Read this tut on how to fix leaks
http://www.snarkpit.net/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL2&id=139

Once you fix your leak all your problems will go away!
